Heat sink design

Heat sinks are often made of aluminium, a cooling metal that is easier to extrude or work into heat sink application profiles, than copper. It is also easier to create custom aluminium heat sink profile variations. When extruded in a fin, profiles can easily be attached to a copper base, conducting a large amount of thermal energy to the lighter, less expensive aluminium alloy cooling fins.

If you manufacture equipment for telecommunications, electrical, automotive or electronic applications that requires heat dissipation from a hot surface, you will need some kind of thermal management system and heat sink. You should consider an aluminium solution.

Electric vehicles use lots of aluminium. Now the chargers that help power these cars are using aluminium, too. The Swedish company Chargestorm produces charging station solutions for electrical vehicles in collaboration with Hydro.
